CARACAS---Venezuelan
President Nicolas
Maduro is extending
price controls and will
place limits on profits as
he extends attempts to
curb the galloping infla-
tion that is eroding sup-
port for his rule.
Maduro made the
announcement in a late-
night television address
Sunday in which he also
vowed to step up inspec-
tions of businesses selling
shoes, clothing, automo-
biles and other goods to
make sure they aren't
gouging consumers.
"We can't just close the
businesses; the owners
have to go to jail," Maduro
said in an impassioned
speech in which he cited
Jewish, Muslim and
Christian texts to
harangue businessmen he
accuses of usury.
Huge crowds of gov-
ernment loyalists and
opponents formed out-
side appliance stores over
the weekend after
Maduro ordered the mil-
itary to occupy the Daka
chain of electronic stores
and slash by more than
half prices for washing
machines, televisions and
other white goods.
While soldiers with
assault rifles were
deployed to keep bargain
hunters in check, at least
one Daka store, in the
country's third largest city
of Valencia, was looted by
unruly crowds, according
to photos and videos
posted online.
Maduro Sunday night
urged Venezuelans to
remain calm, saying that
he won't allow the "par-
asitic bourgeoisie" to
overcharge consumers
ever again. To that end,
he vowed to place per-
centage limits on profit
margins if congress
approves a bill granting
him special powers.
Free-market econo-
mists say such a move
would exacerbate short-
ages that reached a record
in October, according to
the central bank. They say
that to stabilize the econ-
omy, and shore up a cur-
rency whose black market
value is a ninth of the
official rate, the govern-
Venezuela to
toughen price
controls and
set profits
ment needs to lift capital
controls put in place a
decade ago by former
President Hugo Chavez
and devalue the bolivar.
That's a notion Maduro
rejects.
The president argues
that Venezuela's inflation,
which is running at 54 per
cent, is the result of
hoarding and speculation
by opponents in
Venezuela and in the US,
and that South America's
biggest oil producer has
more than enough dollars
to pay for imports. If not
for the "economic war"
being waged by his oppo-
nents, inflation should be
running around 16 to 18
per cent, he said Sunday
night.
If Maduro does yield,
he's unlikely to do so
before next month's
municipal elections,
which the opposition is
trying to turn into a ref-
erendum on his seven-
month administration.

sending container ships south. AP PHOTO
